It is with deepest sorrow that the family of Anthony Joseph Iati announce his passing on Friday, August 19, 2016. His health had declined over the last few months and he died peacefully at his home in Bragg Creek, Alberta with his family by his side. Tony was a loving and devoted husband to Lorraine (Lorrie) Iati and was predeceased by his wife in 2013. A doting father to Kimberley Iati, Tina Patton; his son in law John Patton and an adoring grandfather to Nicholas, Matthew and Joseph Patton. Tony loved and cherished his grandchildren, family and friends. He will also be dearly missed by his brother George Iati; sister Mary Hanko, his many nieces and nephews.

Tony was originally from North Bay, Ontario and lived most of his life in Toronto, Ontario.

His life was enriched when moving to Bragg Creek and had many cherished friendships. Tony was a World War II Veteran and long-time member of the Royal Canadian Legion.
